  Episode Quotes  
Ben: Goodwin. You see where the tail land?
Goodwin: Yeah, probably in the water.
Ben: You run and you can make that shore in an hour. Ethan, get up there to that fuselage, there may actually be survivors. You're one of 'em. A passenger, you're in shock. Come up with an adequate story if they ask. Stay quiet if they don't. Listen, learn, don't get involved. I want lists in three days. Go.
 
Mr. Friendly: Rise and shine, Kate!
Kate: Where am I?
Mr. Friendly: You don't really think I'm going to answer that, do you?
 
Sawyer: (to the prisoner nearby) Hey! Where are we? Who the hell are you? Oh, you ain't gonna talk to me? What? Ya got more important things to do?
 
Karl: I wouldn't do that.
Sawyer: I want your advice, I'll ask for it! (pushes the button and gets thrown across his cage) Son of a bitch!
Karl: Told you.
 
Jack: (to Sarah) Just tell me what his name is! I wanna know... who he is. Look, you can have everything - the cars, the house - I don't care, I just... I just want to know... the name of the man that is with my wife.
 
Jack: TELL ME WHERE MY FRIENDS ARE!
Juliet: I will... if you let go of the chain.
Jack: YOU THINK I'M STUPID?!
Juliet: I don't think you're stupid, Jack. I think you're stubborn.
 
Ben: (regarding the handcuffs on the table) Sorry, I'm going to have to ask you to put those on, Kate.
Kate: And if I don't?
Ben: Then you don't get any coffee.
 
Kate: What did you do with Sawyer and Jack?
Ben: Now, why Sawyer?
Kate: Why Sawyer what?
Ben: He's the first one you asked about. "What did you do with Sawyer and Jack?"
Kate: You don't know me.
Ben: Of course I don't.
 
Ben: I brought you here so you'd look out at the water and feel comforted. Comforted that your friends were looking out at the same ocean. I gave you the dress so you'd feel like a lady. And I wanted you to eat your food with a real life fork and feel civilised. I did all those things so that you'd have something nice to hold on to... 'cause Kate, the next two weeks are going to be very unpleasant.
 
Dr. Christian Shephard: I think I know a little something about being obsessive.
Jack: No, being a drunk is not obsessive!
Dr. Christian Shephard: Let it go, Jack.
 
Juliet: What do you do, Jack? What's your profession?
Jack: I'm a repo man.
 
Juliet: The drugs we gave you when we brought you here have a fairly serious side effect - dehydration. Your head is probably sore, your throat is raw and if you don't eat or drink something soon, you're going to start hallucinating.
Jack: So, you're a doctor, huh?
Juliet: No... I'm a repo woman.
 
Sawyer: (after working out the contraptions only to be rewarded with a fish biscuit and grain) Unbelievable!
 
Mr. Friendly: (to Kate) Scratched you up pretty bad, didn't they? I'll bring you some antiseptic later.
Sawyer: How 'bout you bring me an ottoman? While you're at it, I could use a blowdry!
Mr. Friendly: Hey! You got yourself a fish biscuit! How'd you do that?
Sawyer: I figured out your complicated gizmos, that's how.
Mr. Friendly: Only took the bears two hours.
Sawyer: How many of 'em were there?!
 
Jack: Is this one of their... stations? The... the Dharma Initiative?
Juliet: They called it the Hydra.
Jack: So, you people are just... whatever's left over, is that it?
Juliet: Well, that was a long time ago. It doesn't matter... who we were... it only matters who we are.
 
Jack: Is that him?
Sarah: What difference does it make?
Jack: It just does.
Sarah: It's not gonna change anything...
Jack: Look, I wanna know! I need to know who he is.
Sarah: It doesn't matter who he is, it just matters who you're not.
 
Sarah: Jack... your father... when he called me... to help you. He was so drunk I could hardly understand him. Look at the bright side... now you have something to fix.
 
Juliet: Jack? What would you like to find out?
Jack: (on Sarah) Is she... is she happy?
Juliet: Yes, Jack. She's very happy.
